The Hidden Blueprint Behind Your Life
We talk a lot about our past. Our trauma. Our habits. But what if your real struggle isn’t what happened to you it’s the agreement you made with it?
At some point, you told yourself, “This is just who I am now.” You accepted a mindset, a label, a wound and unknowingly signed a mental contract that shaped the rest of your life.
You didn’t just go through something. You agreed with it. And that agreement became the blueprint for how you move, trust, love, and show up every day.
What Did You Agree To? Agreements are sneaky. They sound like: “I’ll never be enough.” “This is the best I can do.”
“Nobody really shows up for me.” “I’m not the type of person people choose.”
Those words may not have been spoken out loud, but you’ve been living by them. And now, without realizing it, your life is built on top of those emotional contracts not truth, not purpose, not vision.
You didn’t agree to thrive. You agreed to survive. You didn’t agree to be loved. You agreed to prove your worth. You didn’t agree to dream. You agreed to stay “realistic” and that realism became your limitation.
The Power to Break the Contract
Here’s the truth no one talks about: Agreements can be broken.
You don’t owe your past any more loyalty. The version of you that signed that contract was in survival mode — but you’re not there anymore. You’re not that same person. You’re wiser now. Stronger. More aware. You’ve seen too much and grown too far to keep living under old belief systems.
Anything you agreed to in pain, you can walk away from in power.
Agreements aren’t cages. They’re choices. And every day, you have the power to choose again.
Rewrite the Contract: This Week’s Reset
This week, I want you to challenge yourself with this simple but powerful exercise:
Write down 3 unspoken agreements you’ve been living under. These could be beliefs about yourself, your relationships, your worth, or your potential.
Next to each one, write a new declaration a truth that empowers you.
Example: “I always mess things up eventually.”
Declaration “I’m growing into someone who finishes strong and walks in alignment.”
Another Example: “People always leave me.”
Declaration “I attract healthy, honest, and committed relationships starting with myself.”
Say them. Write them. Believe them even if it feels unfamiliar. Because unfamiliar doesn’t mean untrue. It just means unpracticed.
From the Book That Started the Shift
“You don’t just live in your past, you live in the agreements you made with it.”
“You don’t just live in your past you live in the agreements you made with it.” If You Change Your Mind, You Can Change Your Life by John Maurice
This work isn’t about changing the world overnight. It’s about changing the words and thoughts you’ve built your world around.
The next version of you isn’t waiting on the right timing it’s waiting on the right agreement.
Your New Life Is One Agreement Away
You are not what happened to you. You are not what they said. You are not what you lost. You are what you choose to believe now.
You’re not broken. You’re breaking free. You’re not behind. You’re just done living in reverse. And you’re not too late you’re just about to get honest enough to move.
Walk forward. Break the contract. Sign a new one.
And if you need help doing it I’ve got a book, a program, and a movement that’s been built to help you get there.
Until next time,
I believe in you.
And now that you’re believing more in yourself,
I know I’ll see you on the other side of your desired reality.
